Hi folks

Just looking for some advice.

So I had a 5 year SHPO that ended June 2024. I was arrested and charged with a sexual communication offense and a breach of SOPO for deleting a Facebook message in Jan 2024 and this has still not concluded.  The police applied for a new SHPO in August 2024.  So I came off and thought I was free then they slapped me with a new one, I got legal representation and successfully got this cisted until the criminal charge was dealt with.  Since then the COPFS has dropped the sexual communication offense but they're going ahead with the breach of SHPO.  My solicitor thinks we will be able to argue this in court and defend it successfully.

My question is while the main SHPO application was cisted they got a 6 month interim one which they have now(today) notified me they will be  looking to extend for another 6 months until the criminal case is dealt with.  In their summary they confirm that the COPFS is only going ahead with the breach of SHPO.  I was under the impression they were not allowed to use a breach of SHPO as a reason for their application of a new SHPO.

I can understand them applying first as I had two charges, but now the main one is dropped and it's only the breach left surely they should be ending the main SHPO application completely.

Any advice on this would be welcome

Thanks
